Fermyn Woods Hall, a former hunting lodge on the outskirts of Brigstock, was, in the early years of the 19th Century, the country seat of Anne and Gertude Fitzpatrick. who inherited the hall from their father, the Duke of Upper Ossory (a member of the Irish aristocracy). The Ladies Fitzpatrick played an important part in the history of the village, sponsoring several initiatives to promote the education of village children and to try to alleviate poverty in Brigstock - a national as well as a local problem at that time.

Bill Simon has lived in Brigstock for over 40 years (with only a few more to do before qualifying as a Brigstock villager !). He was a founder member of Brigstock Historical Society and has been involved in many of its activities, giving regular talks to the membership, contributing to the society’s magazine and doing guided village walks for residents and visitors. OHS members were fortunate to benefit from his extensive local knowledge on one of these guided walks round Brigstock last year.
